Getting surgery covered
I called the state and they said I would have to go into a high risk insurance pool and it cost like 700 a month.....there is no way.
Any advice.....I can't get insurance.......what do you do?

Can you finance it as a self pay?
You may be able to get the judge to order hubby to keep you on his insurance as part of your alimony?

Well other than self pay I don't know of any other options. I hear Starbucks covers wls for their employees. Would be worth making coffee to get wls in my opinion.
Maybe your situation will change in the future and you will be able to get wls. It was not an option for me until my employer State of GA started covering wls last year. You never know what the future may bring.
Unfortunately wls is not free, so you have to find a way to get insurance to cover it or finance it. Not many charitible organizations would consider wls an urgent matter, since others have more pressing medical issues...
If all else fails, you can try to lose naturally. I know it seems hard, even impssible, but many are successful at it. Try some free or no cost support groups for weight loss like Overeaters Anonymous or TOPS (take off pounds sensibly). I know you may be thinking you can't do it on your own because it is too hard, but believe me this surgery is not easy either!

If your insurance does not cover it, and it does not change in the near future, you will have to find a way to finance it. It may seem impossible now, but it may no be impossible down the road.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
You have my utmost admiration for being such a good mom to your kids. Stay strong!
The web site is not finished but you can read her story. I want to loose weight so I can take care of her long term. I just have to. I will check out those groups.
Thanks again! Donna
